What do we mean by the devil is in the details?

Chairman of Innoventures Group and Founder of Bounce Back Philippines, Jason Dela Rosa, takes the wheel on this episode and talks about innovation.

Simplification and efficiency through checklists.

Simplify things using systems.

How far are we looking?

1% better every day is not 365% improvement in one year but 3,778% total cumulative growth. That's the 1% Rule.

Excellence. First. Last. Always. Forever. And ever. Amen.

Why is it harder for us to be purpose-driven instead of profit-driven?

Hard work and effort, trying and good intentions are all good. But in leadership (and for everything else that matter), they alone don't count. You don't win on good intentions, you win on great execution.

The key factor to breakthroughs are exploiting what has already worked in the past.

There will always be an expensive cost: for high-performance at the start or for fixing (more costly) problems created later.

Either way, we'll pay; Choose your expensive.

The Wheel. The Printing Press. The Computer. The Internet. Game-Changing inventions that made our lives better. Makes us wonder, why not build a Game-Changing enterprise?

In 1991, Jack Welch announced that he will commence preparing his replacement in anticipation of his retirement as CEO of General Electric. Jack retired in 2000 - a full nine years after the statement.

When Steve Jobs died, the whole world worried  - and a few more expected - about Apple's eventual demise now that the legendary visionary is gone.

In 2018, Apple led by Tim Cook, became America's first Trillion Dollar Company, and in 2020 - right smack in the middle of a global pandemic - it surged into Two Trillion Dollar Company.

The name of the game is not just about success; it about sustained success long after were gone. And great enterprises do this by having a Protege ready to take point long before they need one.

After all, an organization is not truly great if it cannot be great with you.

How we see things dictate how we behave towards it. So the question is, what do we see when we look at a business? Do we see it as a mere money-making machine? Or do we see it as our vehicle in achieving our dreams and as engine for social impact?

Rice-cookers gets the job done. With this, anyone can cook rice with minimal effort, no special skills required and no supervision necessary.

In my observation, the direction of the business landscape is no longer about building the next Big Company: The Big Mall company, The Big Food Franchise, or the Big Beverage enterprise. The game is now about building Big Ecosystems where a collection of distinct albeit interdependent small and medium enterprises feed off one another and grow together. More importantly, our country's business industry is composed of 99% MSMEs hence, to grow, thrive and scale, ecosystem play is the name of the game.
